The rich will stay rich. They have the means by which to shelter their wealth. I say good for them. Unfortunately, the middle class will be forced into poverty. That’s been the true goal since that a$$ clown was elected in 2008.

My understanding about how the DoD will approach sequestration is that they’ll idle weapons and systems production lines first.

Boeing is raking in a lot of money making P-8s, F/A-18E/Fs and now KC-45s. Lockheed, another company that decided to play ball with Obama on the whole WARN Act mandate makes F-35s.

As far as I’m concerned sequestration is a big ol’ sh*tburger that they cooked up, and they should now be prepared to take a bite.

"I worked all my life and never received 1 day of unemployment, food stamps or other government assistance"

Me neither, now that I reflect upon it. Thankx.

Only our uneducated electorate would need to see these stories to comprehend the massive unintended, and intended consequences of Obama and his policies.

We’re just stuck in the mud right now, while Romney would have been infinitely better than Obama, he would have been legislatively impotent with the senate as it exists.

Let Obama own the downfall all by his lonesome.

A lot of those CEOs are leaving the country.

Those taxes they supported? They’re not going to be paying them. :)

Isn’t a review board of 8 retired doctors in each hospital part of the Obamacare mess? Can you take your wife’s case to this so called hospital review board and ask about getting her more care if she needs it?

And millions of hourly workers about to find out their employer is capping work week at 29 to avoid ObamaCare’s “30 hours is full time” rule are in for a rude awaking in the new year.

"I took my wife of 52 years to the doctor today for her cancer check. They informed her that this would be her last check up because Obamacare won’t cover her after age of 70.

Perhaps it's time to inform the people in this country of this incident. If it was me, and it could easily be because I'm almost 70, I would contact my local media, newspaper via letters to the editor, talk radio, etc. (use your imagination) and explain to them just what is happening to your wife. Because nobody will believe this unless someone tells them first hand.

And secondly, I would check with a cancer hospital in your vicinity for testing and care if need be. I live near Roswell Park in Bflo., NY and I know they treat people who can't afford to pay for their own care. Do not give up because you have a door closed in your face. Throw this right back into the face of the politicians and the media. Do not keep this incident to yourself for all of our sakes.

It upsets me I could say that until last month.

People say that the rich need to pay “their fair share.” What about the poor? They get all the benefits and pay little if anything for them. We should have them pay “their fair share.” Then see what kind of attitude they have.

Screw you. The working poor see payroll taxes taken from their paychecks, probably along with confiscatory union dues and they pay income taxes.

If that later's refunded that's not their fault--blame Congress. Those hourly workers are about to see the work week capped at 29 hours to avoid ObamaCare instead of working as many hours as needed by the business.

You want to believe these were all Obama voters but that's a lie you tell yourself. What the Democrats poke Republicans with, that they don't care because they 'got theirs,' is certainly an attitude I witnessed from some on FR. It's repulsive. Like the unfortunate 47% comment, it divides, in gives life to the class warfare rhetoric of the Left. STOP IT!

We should persuade, we should offer hands up not belittle and grind people down particularly in this abominable economy.

Are you so ignorant, arrogant and hate-filled to believe every one of those additional food stamp beneficiaries are happy about it? What about the unemployed and underemployed? It's their fault, right?

I don't know about your wife's situation but it's not uncommon to stop checking patients who had been cancer free for a substantial length of time. My mother encountered that. It's possible that may be a factor.

Congratulations on the long marriage and I hope for many more!

That is true, but do you really think he cares?

don’t say that.

Anyways, we should all do our part to bleed out the system.

We should all get ObamaPhones and subsidized $9.95 a month high-speed internet and whatever else.

No, I don’t believe that all the poor voted for Obama as I don’t believe all the rich voted for Romney. I was a working poor for many years and all I saw was my taxes, as well as cost for living, go up.

However, I do hate it when the poor say “tax the rich” and offer nothing in return. I believe we need to help them but they also need to help themselves. Only together can both sides make it. If the poor expects the rich to help them and they do nothing then they become dependent upon handouts and not a helping hand.

Yep. The tail is wagging the dog.
